Error-resilient video coding performance analysis of motion JPEG2000 and MPEG-4

The new Motion JPEG 2000 standard is providing with some compelling features. It is based on an intra-frame wavelet coding, which makes it very well suited for wireless applications. Indeed, the state-of-the-art wavelet coding scheme achieves very high coding efficiency. In addition, Motion JPEG 2000 is very resilient to transmission errors as frames are coded independently (intra coding). Furthermore, it requires low complexity and introduces minimal coding delay. Finally, it supports very efficient scalability. In this paper, we analyze the performance of Motion JPEG 2000 in error-prone transmission. We compare it to the well-known MPEG-4 video coding scheme, in terms of coding efficiency, error resilience and complexity. We present experimental results which show that Motion JPEG 2000 outperforms MPEG-4 in the presence of transmission errors.
